TAG.

Application filed March 24, 1927. Serial N6. 177,927.

The present invention has for its object to provide a simple, cheap andattractive tag adapted to engage and conceal a button of the garment towhich it may be attached and to display such information as price, size,

number or the like, together with advertising or like indicia.

The invention consists in the features of novelty hereinafter describedand illustrated in the accompanying drawing and particularly pointed outin the claims at the end of this specification.

Fig. 1 is a view of a blank from tag may be formed.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of tne tag showing the outer wall orprinted side thereof.

Fig. 3 is a like perspective view of the tag from the opposite side.

Fig. 4 is a view showing the tag in position for use.

Fig. 5 is a view showing a modified way of forming my improved tag.

My improved tag is preferably made from a blank of thin cardboard orheavy paper,

such as shown in Fig. 1, that has subse quently been folded in the formof a flat tube,

as indicated in Figs. 2 and 8 of the drawing.

If desired, however, my improved tag may be which my .210 made bycutting individual tags from a long flattened tube of thin cardboard orthe like,

that has been previously formed with button slots on the one side andcontaining the desired printed matter upon the opposite side, asindicated in Fig. 5 of the drawing.

If the be made from a blank, such as shown in Fig. 1, that part of theblank that is to form the inner wall or member a of the blank, will befolded along the scored or partially scored line aonto the inner face ofthat part of the blank that will form the outer wall or member I) of thetag; after which the extended end or flap portion 0 of the enter wall Z;will be folded along the scored line Z) onto the outer face of the walland will be united securely thereto. The

face of the flap portion 0 is shown at a,

coated with adhesive material in readiness for use.

The inner wall or member a of the tag is provided with some suitableform of buttonreceiving slot, such for example as the T- shaped slot D,having an expanded end por tion d thatextends parallel with and adjacentto the folded flap or end portion 0 of the outer wall. The flap or endportion 0 not only serves to securely unite the inner and outer walls ofthe tag, but also serves to materially strengthen the slotted inner walland lessen the danger of breaking such wall as the button is insertedtherethrough. Upon through the slot D of the tag, the shanks or threadsof the button slipping into the con tracted portion of the slot D afterthe head of the button has been inserted through the expanded part (Z ofthe slot. The outer face of the tag wall will then completely concealthe button and display the information printed or written upon the tag.Obviously the form of button-receiving slot may be varied as desired.

I I claim as my invention:

1. A tagof the character described, adapted to be attached to a garmentbutton, said tag being in the form of a flattened tube, the inner wallor member of the tag having a button-receiving slot and the outer wallor member being adapted to cover a button and display printed or writtenmatter.

2. A tag of the character described, adapted to be attached to a garmentbutton, said tag beingin the form of a flattened tube comprising innerand outer walls or members. one of which members. is formed with a flapportion united to the other wall or member, the inner wall or member ofthe tag being formed with a button-receiving slot. 1

3. A tag of the character described adapted to be attached to a garmentbutton,

said tag being in "the form of a flattened tube, the inner wall of thetag having a button-receiving slot expanded at one end and with acontracted portion extending therefrom, and the other wall of the tagbeing adapted to cover the button and having a portion folded over theedge of the inner wall and adjacent said slot.
